ATEX Certification Validity -- Shenzhen ZhongNuo Inspection & Testing Technology Co., Ltd.
ATEX or IECEx certificates differ from domestic explosion-proof certificates (both domestic explosion-proof certificates and explosion-proof CCC certificates are valid for 5 years).
The certificate does not state an expiration date; does this imply that the certificate is valid indefinitely?
ATEX certificates do not have an expiration date. ATEX certification is a combination of product testing and factory inspections.
The validity of the certificate is maintained after each factory audit passes.
If the factory inspection isn't done according to schedule, the certificate will become invalid immediately.
If the certification standards are updated and the certificate is not renewed, the certificate will also become invalid.

ATEX Certification and CE Certification: Relationship and Differences
CE certification is a mandatory product certification in the European Union.
Below are many commands, such as LVD, EMC, MD, RED, ATEX, etc.
Different instructions apply to different product categories.
For example, ATEX is a directive under the CE certification, applicable to explosion-proof equipment and products.
Each directive has different product certification standards, with the ATEX directive's standards being the EN60079 series.
